Arx Libertatis development builds now available

[😎 𝓣𝓪𝓯𝓯𝒆𝓻𝔀𝓸𝓬𝓴𝔂 😎]

Great news, Am Shaegar(s)!

Some of you may have heard of Arx Libertatis, a free open-source project to enhance this game for modern systems. It's more or less essential for anyone looking to play this game.

You can now download recent dev snapshots of Arx Libertatis. This means you can take advantage of the past two years' improvements since version 1.1.2 came out, by downloading 1.2 in progress. Link: http://arx-libertatis.org/files/snapshots/

On Windows, just unzip the folder and make sure to put the necessary Arx data files in there or in the Save folder- it should then work out of the box.

Alternatively, you can copy the files into the Steam version folder, if you still want to play the game with the Steam Community features, etc.

This was a nice relief after I had trouble compiling it myself. I found the latest master builds to be 99% fine, but there are a few known regressions: https://bugs.arx-libertatis.org/arx/issues/find/saved_search/6/search/1

Apart from those issues there's no reason not to use these instead of 1.1.2 now! If you find any issues make sure to report them on the bug tracker above and/or on the IRC Channel [webchat.freenode.net].

Sounds like something might be wrong with the key bindings. Can you post your cfg.ini file - it's in the same location as the save files.

Yeah, here is it:

I will try to reset to default keys also and check this out.

[vodkins]

WOW! After i reset my keybindings to default - all is working now! Bars are now became open wide. I bound cursor mode from RMB to MMB... So this is critical moment i see... Why this even happens? I will try other keys for cursor mode, but i am wonder why such common thing such as rebind mouse buttons causes this trouble....

Hi, thanks for your config.

Seems like the problem happens when a button is (only) assigned to the second slot of the Action binding. I've created a report for it here: http://arx.vg/795

[vodkins]

Yes, i have some actions bound only to the second slot. It just because i don't know how to clear bindings from slots. For example i want NumPad0 for "Use". At the same time this button assigned by default to "Map". Strange, why reassigned buttons remains on old places and thus way we have 2 different actions bound to one same button Also we don't have an option to clear binding slot at all. So i bound all my actions on both primary and secondary slots to avoid this doubling. As for those metal bars - i think i found some sort of solution - do not touch LMB in bind menu at all! Only if you bound it in second slot too - system will broke... So we need some fix for that double clicks on second slot or just an option (key) to clear bindings from slots.
So my problem was solved. Thank you guys for you work and support! Going to play at last

[vodkins]

I found some other bugs related to the binding system. You can't rebind first slot for Magic Mode at all. And second remapped slot is not working in game. Dead end... Also some actions which binded to the second slots only are don't working too: Lean left/right, Special action (that key for picking up objects by one click), Magic book (and some other book maybe) and maybe some other few actions (don't remember now). So i put my hands inside cfg.ini file and did manual rebind for all my actions (replaced all my keys from "_k1" to "_k0"). Now all works fine! Unfortunately i can't call rebind system working well. It slightly broken for people who want to do a total rebind.

@vodkins A key rebinding bug was fixed today. This should hopefully fix your issue whenever the next development snapshot comes out :)

[vodkins]

Thank you but i finished game already:) As i said before - i did all required job inside cfg.ini by my hands. Of course legal solution/fix for that issue is higly welcome and it will pleasure other players who wants mass rebind. Thank you again!

@Tafferwocky & Team

Your work is quite frankly ASTOUNDING. I've played earlier versions of Libertatis before, but after discovering this thread I started up good ol' Arx again and every time I've played since you started development, it feels like a better game for all of the changes and improvements!

As a long-time Arx fan, I gotta say I reckon I'll still make another couple of playthroughs out of it as long as you're still making such a difference to the base experience. Thank you! :)

Thanks! Glad you're liking the changes :)

We're hoping to make a new official release soon* by the way.

It'll be like the development version you're playing, just with some more bug fixes :)

I'd have to second that. Game is quite unique although I think of game: Dark Messiah (of M&M) to be similar, if not as good. Also, game called 'NecroVision' reminds me of these types of games, but in a 'modern' (as opposed to 'fantasy') -setting. Deep games (some quite literally so).
